The Martinez family is traveling to a play in Richmond. A round trip train ticket costs $8.00. Children under the age of 7 trave

tatuchka [14]

Answer: The Martinex family spent $ 82 for train ride and play tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Round trip train cost = $ 8.00

For children it cost $ 4.00.

For adult, ticket for play costs= $ 14.00

For children , ticket for play costs= $ 6.00

Mr. And Mrs. Martinez will go with their children, Ricky, Ramona, and Thomas.

2 adults and 3 children ( only one of them is under 7.)

For train we consider only 1 as child rest as adult.

Train cost = 4 x($ 8.00)+ 1 x ($ 4.00)

= $ 32+4 = $36

For play , total cost = 2 x ( $ 14.00) + 3 x ($6)

= $(28+18)

= $ 46

Total spending ( combined) = $36+$ 46

= $82

So, the Martinex family spent $ 82 for train ride and play tickets.

Nineteen more than a number is less than 42

Lelechka [254]

We are trying to find the number that when added to 19, gives us less than 42. We can set up this simple inequality:

19 + x < 42

Now, subtract 19 from both sides:

x < 23

Our number can be anything less than 23.
